New Theme: Greyzed

June 3, 2010

Today’s new theme is dirty and grungy-looking—but that’s just what makes it so good! Let’s take a look at Greyzed.

The Greyzed Theme

While Greyzed might look rough it’s been carefully designed and it isn’t short on features. Starting at the top, it has a really sharp drop-down menu ready for our new menus feature. Visit Appearance → Menus and you can order the links here any way you like.

Customizable Drop Down Menus

The distinctive Greyzed design elements are repeated throughout your blog and finish off nicely at the bottom of each page with an optional extra-large widgetized footer in the same tough style. Visit Appearance → Widgets and add any Widget to Footer Left, Footer Middle, or Footer Right, to create your own unique footer.

Footer Widgets in Greyzed

Greyzed is available today in your WordPress.com dashboard under Appearance → Themes and, for WordPress.org users, in the WordPress.org themes directory.

I love this! Greyzed is the first new theme which has piqued my interest enough to actually think seriously about changing over. And you have to know, I love my own theme – – am comfortable with it and am not looking to make a change. But. . . .I’m going to think some more. Thanks to you all. Jan

That is one NEAT theme! I`d totally go for this one if the post-background came in black! ❤

Hey, why are Black-LetterHead, Hemingway and Sunburn the only themes with really black backgrounds?
I think a twin Greyzed would do great with a background going from grey borders, subtly into a black space with grey/white text! (Sort of like the banner/title does, only inverted… and more square.)

I could hug and kiss you lot! How did you know this was one of my all time favourite themes on Blogger? Only problem was, I couldn’t get Windows Live Writer to sync with it, so I am going to try it out now, and if it sync’s okay with your wordpress version, I will be switching to it straight away! I love this grunge look, its fantastic!

I’m a girl and I adore this theme! First thing I thought when I saw it was “Call of Duty Nazi Zombies!” Fantastic job, guys. I’ll have to look into switching to this, but I’ll have to be in the right mood…I’m way too fond of my typewriter-keys header.

I just can’t help myself, Ive got to take this theme out for a spin! I think I need a 12 step program for theme changing. I was just loving the Twenty Ten now I’m off exploring a new Theme. Thank You WordPress!

This is fantastic! I’ve been contemplating over the “Mr. Right” in themes for the past few days now… This one might fit the bill… Trying it right away ! Thanks !! I hope the customization ability is to my liking as well 🙂

Love it—agree that it could do with a Twitter button somewhere (maybe with the RSS). That said, I use the Twitter Widget and would rather it was able to be displayed more prominently rather than the footer.

Oh! I have been getting so many themes but none convinced me to change my theme from ChaoticSoul. This one simply rocks! Gives a retro kinda feel and good lucid reading guaranteed…the bubble for comment sections is too good. I have applied it. Thanks a ton.

I am up for this kind of theme but since my blog is for professional use, I can’t use it. This theme is different though WP guys always come up with something big. I like it, The best thing is that the theme occupy my 15 inch Laptop screen which is what I like the most.

This is neat! I am a photographer and I have been searching for a free theme that displays my work nicely but also gives a nice fresh look to it and I haven’t found a theme yet. I like the style of this but it is a bit more masculine that I would like. Any chance you could do something like this but with a bit more feminine edge?
